when i lived in toronto i borrowed the first season on dvd from a friend of my wife. the friend warned me not to watch it. i should've listened. alf is a smart mouthed freeloading pience of shit. i ended up hating him.

but for someone trapped on a hostile planet he sure liked to fuck around with willy. the very person who could've fed him to the wolves.

and dont get me wrong. when i was a kid i fucking loved alf. and wanted nothing more than for him to make it back home. but when i rewatched the first season the little fucker got under my nerves.

as soon as it starts snowing i'll give the christmas special a shot though. then i'll get back to you about it jereme. i'm getting soft these days. so who knows? i might end up changing my opinion while weeping.

it does seem wrong. and boy. willie and the wife were definitely trite and boring. and probably would've provided the type of childhood i'd rather not have/felt sorry for kids with parents that looked like that when i was young.

i don't what i have against alf really. maybe it's cause i loved him so. when i was boy. and the episodes just didnt weigh the same after re-watching.

maybe the christmas special can save my childhood.

but as a canadian i cant bare to sit through anything that promises shots of snow covered anything just yet. when that special daymare will soon be upon me for real.

so i'll have to wait to find out. but you'll be the first to know how it makes me feel. and whether or not theres still a place in my heart for that lost soul from melmac.
